New blog post on possible future projects

[Nick the Lemming]

The 2004 Summer Special from TFL has a SCW supplement for IABSM - "Up Your Cara Al Sol", including scenarios - think are more scenarios and features in later specials too

I have that somewhere (ditto for their Sealion supplement). I really want to like the Lardies' games, because they seem like decent blokes, but I just can't get into most of their games. The silly titles are a bit off-putting, but mostly it's the "big men" concept - too much like Whig history for a social historian like myself.

Just read the post - that's a lot of ideas, periods and scales. Blimey. I thought I flitted around, but I now feel that I am quite sane and balanced with the relatively few eras and scales I game with.

Yeah, they're ones I've been considering for a while mostly though, and as I think I said in the blog, I enjoy doing some basic research into the periods and theatres anyway, so even if I never end up doing anything with them, I'll have fun considering them as future options.

Your S&S hack sounds interesting, but the link doesn't work - it needs authorisation for Google Drive.

I'll change that up then, should be ok now to click on. Thanks for letting me know!

The two links are here:

As to which you should choose. I've thought about SWC, using CoC and Pendraken figures. Partly because of the many factions, so going platoon sized with CoC is practicable. Also there is a great SWC supplement for CoC. I have the Osprey World in Flame book, and while it was interesting, I didn't really get much feeling from the rules.

Sealion - and early WWII in general, is good.

Italian wars - always good. Nice mix of forces as the traditional medieval meets firearms.

Sudan - colonial is always good. A good period as you get both red and khaki for the British.

Really, I'm no help at all, I like most of the periods you have suggested. VBCW is the only one that does little for me.  Ultimately you know you will do 4 of these and 3 others you haven't even thought about yet.  

Ultimately? I'll probably do 4 of them in 3 different scales and 8 others I haven't though of yet besides.

One of the guys I usually play with is doing some Vietnam stuff, and I think is interested in Korea, so I don;t want to step on his toes too much.

I did consider Norway too, it's one of the second tier projects I've thought of doing. With luck, I'd be able to use some of the same figures for Sealion and Norway. The problem with the Neubaufahrzeug is finding figures for them I think.

For Norway you could look at Fairy Kikaku from HLJ (3 x Neubaufahrzeug plus a bonus Landsverk L-185):-
